Assessment Comments
Assessment is based on results of a November 1994 DNR stream use assessment.
Basis for Assessment
Used results of the November 1994 DNR stream use assessment to assess support of the Class B(LR) aquatic life uses as FST due to (1) habitat score (24) better than the overall score (22) for DNR stream use assessments, (2) indication on field sheet of very diverse substrates, several pool/riffle sequences, only isolated channel alterations, and relatively stable stream banks, (3) fish score (11) better than the 75th percentile score (10) for assessments made with seines, and (4) comments on field sheet ("some areas too rocky to sample"). Fish community composed primarily of pollution-tolerant cyprinids (e.g., creek chub, bluntnose minnow, bigmouth shiner).
